KЕNTROИ

I’ve been admiring Toronto’s KЕNTROИ, as a producer, for a couple of years, now. After having him guest-host DEAD AIR ELCTRO 018, I also admire him as a person, and as a label owner. He can be found on the streets of Toronto, riding his board, or tagging up a wall. He’s got a real fuck you attitude towards authority, as well as conventionalism. As label rep, he is assembling a team of talented, underground Toronto artists who challenge the status quo and smirk, indignantly, at the very idea of “genres” and “marketing”. A veritable party platter of boundary pushing electronic art is the result.

I dropped KЕNTROИ’s quick-killer DIE ANTWOORD REMIX in Vol 2 of my ONE NIGHT IN NYC ELECTRO mix series. it’s high time I got it up on the blog.

Warming up your subwoofers with an affinity for filth, Zack Szamosvari is a heavy hitter when it comes to dub and drum & bass. Expect fluidity and precision as this machine of a man drops his own breed of dark and dirty dance jams.

When the goal is filth, DnB & Dub sort of come naturally. What caught me off guard was a rather pretty instrumental PROGRESSIVE HOUSE jam, by CENTURION, titled MISTAKES WERE MADE, which still maintains some dirty fuzz cast over beautiful and very catchy melodies. So intriguing!
